Lime Jell-O Marshmallow Cottage Cheese Surprise

A Ravelry posting reminded me of this gem. Enjoy.




Here are the lyrics:

LADIES, THE MINUTES WILL SOON BE READ TODAY.

THE GARDEN CLUB AND WEAVING CLASS I`M SURE HAVE MUCH TO SAY...

BUT NEXT WEEK IS OUR CULTURE NIGHT, OUR BIGGEST, BEST EVENT,

AND I'VE JUST MADE A DISH FOR IT YOU`LL ALL FIND HEAVEN SENT:

IT`S MY LIME JELLO MARSHMALLOW COTTAGE CHEESE SURPRISE

WITH SLICES OF PIMENTO, (YOU WON`T BELIEVE YOUR EYES,)

ALL TOPPED WITH A PINEAPPLE RING AND A DASH OF MAYONNAISE,

MY VANILLA WAFERS `ROUND THE EDGE WILL WIN YOUR HIGHEST PRAISE.

AND MISSUS JONES IS MAKING SCONES THAT ARE FILLED WITH PEANUT MOUSSE;

TO BE FOLLOWED BY A CHICKEN MOLD THAT`S MADE IN THE SHAPE OF A GOOSE.

FOR LADIES WHO MUST WATCH THOSE POUNDS WE'VE FOUND A SPECIAL DISH:

STRAWBERRY ICE ENSHRINED IN RICE WITH BITS OF TUNA FISH.

AND MY LIME JELLO MARSHMALLOW COTTAGE CHEESE SURPRISE

(TRULY A CREATION THAT DESCRIPTION DEFIES)

WILL GO SO WELL WITH MISSUS BELL'S CREATION OF THE WEEK:

SHRIMP SALAD TOPPED WITH CHOC'LATE SAUCE AND GARNISHED WITH A LEEK.

AND MISSUS PERKINS' WALNUT LOAF THAT`S CROWNED WITH MELTED CHEESE

WAS SUCH A HIT LAST CULTURE NIGHT, WE ASK: NO SECONDS PLEASE!

NOW YOU MUST TRY HER HOT DOG PIE WITH CANDIED MUSHROOM SLICES...

THOSE LADIES WHO RESIGNED LAST YEAR, THEY JUST DON`T KNOW WHAT NICE IS!

BUT MY LIME JELLO MARSHMALLOW COTTAGE CHEESE SURPRISE,

I DID NOT STEAL THAT RECIPE, IT`S LIES, I TELL YOU, LIES!

OUR GRAND AWARD: A PICTURE HAT AND A SALMON SEQUINED GOWN

FOR ANY GIRL WHO TRIES EACH DISH AND KEEPS HER WHOLE LUNCH DOWN.

I`M SURE YOU ALL ARE WAITING FOR THE BIGGEST NEWS: DESERT!

WE`VE THOUGHT OF THINGS IN MOLDS AND RINGS YOUR DIET TO SUBVERT.

YOU MUST TRY OUR CHOC'LATE LAYER CAKE ON A PEANUT BRITTLE BASE

WITH SLICES OF BANANAS THAT MAKE A FUNNY FACE.

AROUND THE EDGES PEPPERMINTS JUST SWIMMING IN PEACH CUSTARD,

WITH LOVELY LITTLE CURLICUES OF LOVELY YELLOW MUSTARD!

IF ALL THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU, PERMIT ME TO ADVISE

MORE LIME JELLO MARSHMALLOW COTTAGE CHEESE SURPRISE!

(I`VE MADE HEAPS!)

Just so you know

I'm not the only one.




Though I'm not nearly so hot (or fast) as he is. Hunkering down for some snow, though it didn't start nearly as early as was forecast, so we're probably going to be on the low end again. :|

I'd already cancelled today's Northeastern lesson last night when I discovered this AM that Northeastern is closed for the duration. Harvard, as usual, is forcing people to come to work - as long as they're Central Admin anyway. Boo hiss.

Quick like bunnies

Andy sent this to me and I thought it was so amazing I wanted to share it with you. If you, like moi, wonder what stop motion is, here's an explanation (i.e. for every note he took a picture and then strung them together, which explains how he's occasionally dancing at two weddings with only one tuchas).






We're getting lots of lovely snow at the moment. Fingers crossed we get the 8 inches we're promised. :)
